Five Tips to Keep Your Dog Food Fresh
Do these 5 things if you want your dog to actually eat his food!
Some dogs are by and large not picky when it comes to dining, however you could find your dog turning his nose up at food that's been laying around for a few days. It might be that his dry food has shown signs of being stale or damp from sitting around all day. The same food that made Sparky's tail wag when you bought them can lose its flavor and taste when they have become stale and moldy. This is especially true if your home is damp or if you frequently serve the dog older food that's stayed in the fridge for too long.
Understand these five guidelines to keep your dog's food appealing and yummy:
Should you open a container of dog food and come to find it occupied with little bugs, chances are that the food expired due to the fact that it sat around too long. The bug larvae were so miniscule that they escaped the food packing equipment & finally hatched inside the food. You should see the expiration date on containers of dry food, so evaluate the expiration date before purchasing it. If the food hasn't gone past the expiration date when you got it, make sure you give it to your dog before it goes bad. Close your dog's dry food bags using a plastic clip. Bag clips come in numerous sizes for different-sized bags. Look in desk drawers for some spare clips that may do the trick. Similar to bag clips, binder clips turn up in various sizes.
If you just recently got a huge bag of your dog's favorite dry food so you could use up those store coupons that were taking up wallet space, put a good deal of of the food in a container & throw it in your freezer, or place the whole amount of dry dog food in the freezer if it will fit. When it's time to feed the dog, take the food out of the freezer an a little ahead of time so it will be able to thaw. Lock the leftovers in a sealed container to keep it appealing.
Keeping your dog's dry food hidden from direct sunlight could help keep it fresh & hold off the oils it's made with from getting hot & spoiling.
Handy items, for instance the Scoop N Seal, help keep larger dog food bags sealed tight as the bag empties. Scoop N Seal is available at pet retailers.
